Rooted Parent

In this episode of the Good Good News, Cameron and Anna continue to examine the benefits of the gospel for parents by taking a thoughtful look at the doctrine of God's foreknowledge—also referred to as election, calling, or predestination. Listen to discover how that is a "soothing comfort" for us as individuals and us as parents.

Welcome to the 11th series of the Rooted Parent Podcast! Cameron and Anna will share with you the good good news of the gospel as it applies specifically to you as a mom or dad. Together we will examine facets of the gospel, such as adoption and regeneration, and discuss how those truths inherent to our salvation actually have real-world, practical implications in our daily lives raising children. In the same way that most of us carry smartphones but do not utilize a fraction of that small computer's power and capacity, believers often do not know or live out of all the treasures of the gospel. Join us this season as we dig deeper to enjoy all that Christ has done for us and learn to love Him more.

In this final episode of our Flourishing Parent series, Cameron and Anna come to the climactic "I Am" statement in the Gospel of John. When Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead, he demonstrates his power over life and death, and his will to defeat death on our behalf. Knowing the overwhelming goodness of his love for us empowers us to wait when he does not change our circumstances, and shows parents how to wait well with their children during hard seasons and painful circumstances.

Studies find that a majority of teenagers and young adults cite loneliness as one of their most painful problems. Longtime campus minister Shelby Abbott found this to be true among his students, so he wrote Why We're Feeling Lonely (And What We Can Do About It) (A Christian Guide for Gen Z on Relationships, Friendship, Community, Anxiety, Depression, and Healing Loneliness Through the Gospel) to address this issue head-on with the truth of the gospel. His conversation with Anna offers practical guidance to parents who are raising kids in a digitally connected/relationally disconnected world. You'll be encouraged by his wisdom and trust!

Shelby Abbott is an author, campus minister, emcee, and conference speaker. He's also a husband and dad to two daughters. His passion for university students has led him to speak at college campuses all over the US and author several books for the next generation, including such topics as doubt, pressure, and cohabitation before marriage.
